<TITLE>10. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 Can you do that today? Can the Methodists do that? The Baptists? The Presbyterians? The Nazarenes? The Pilgrim Holiness? The Catholics? The Lutherans? Can you do that? Regardless of what church says. "Come in, and abide with Me." Just ask resurrection morning... "Come and abide with us." He's never asked unless you receive.
He said, "Ask, and you shall receive. Knock, it will be opened. Seek, and you shall find, for everyone that seeketh findeth. To him that knocketh it shall be opened. That's right. Ask, and you shall receive." No, maybe you will. You will receive.
And they asked Him, "Come in with us." He turned, come back, walked into the little hut. It might've been a little adobe on the side of the road, as many of the Assyrian countries there have those little adobes made up with mud and so forth, sticks, poor. Why would the King of glory ever stoop to come into a place like that, but there's never a place too--too little. There's never a church too small. There's never a person too rejected by the world. There's never a woman too fallen. There's never a man too drunk, but He will come when He's asked. Certainly. Ask Him and find out.

L-38 May I say this, leaving it for last? There's never a person who's too sick, never a person who's too far gone. Ask, and you shall receive. "Let Me come in, make my abode with you. I'd like to talk to you a few minutes." And they invited Him. He came in, and when once inside, and the door's of the world shut out, alone with Jesus... There you are.
If He can only get you to yourself once, if He can only get you away from the crowd, the pleasure seeking crowd; if He can only get you away from the doubters that says, "The days of miracles is past"; if He can ever get you away from the people that says, "There's no more feeling of religion. The heartfelt religion of our fathers, bled on the battlefields for, there's nothing to it." If He can ever got you alone one time, and your, all your ideas shut outside...
If He can ever get a group of people together like that, there'd be a repeat of Pentecost. If He could ever get a church like that, there'd be a revival that would sweep the nation. Get alone with Him.

L-39 And while He was alone, the doors shut, the world outside, He picked up some bread and He broke it; and just the way He done it, they knew it had to be Him. Their eyes were opened. They'd talked to Him all day. They'd fellowshipped. They'd heard Him preach along the road through the journey of the heat of the day, but when once alone, He made Hisself known to them, and their eyes come open.
Oh, if He could only get this group of people at this hour, if He could only get you to a place alone where you wouldn't notice... Say, "I'm setting by a Methodist this morning, and I'm a Baptist." See, you mustn't do that. You must shut the world out. Shut the other people out. You must walk alone with Christ. If He ever gets you alone, then your eyes come open; say, "Why, that was Him all the time." Then He will do something here this morning the way He used to do it, and the way He does it today; for He has to do the same thing today that He did then, act on the same principles, or He isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever, and He did wrong when He acted there. If Christ in the...
